Driver charged in San Diego crosswalk death

San Diego 
A driver who killed a nanny pushing a baby in a San Diego crosswalk has been charged with vehicular manslaughter and other crimes.

The city attorney's office announced misdemeanor charges Monday against 35-year-old Christine Padilla. She faces up to a year in jail if convicted.

It's not immediately clear whether Padilla has retained an attorney.

Prosecutors say her SUV ran a red light and struck 41-year-old Monserrat Mendez on Feb. 1. Mendez was thrown some 30 feet. The stroller was dragged across the street. The year-old boy inside suffered a fractured skull and other broken bones.

Padilla had given birth the day before the crash. Police investigators say she wasn't speeding or using her cellphone.
